SUMMARY:Towards an Internet of Reality - James Gross\, KTH Stockholm

DESCRIPTION:Automated control\, cognitive assistance as well situational a
 wareness \napplications are currently among the most interesting candidate
 s to \ninfluence the evolution of future cellular networks. Their potentia
 l \nstems from their tight integration with reality\, which promises nothi
 ng \nshort than a transformation of everyday life. One may think of these 
 \napplications\, and the corresponding fabric enabling them\, as an upcomi
 ng “Internet of Reality”. Interestingly\, from a fundamental \nperspec
 tive\, all these applications fall back to the principle of a \nclosed loo
 p. In this talk\, we study the implications of such closed-loop\n applicat
 ions from theoretical as well as practical perspective. We \ndiscuss recen
 t results on communication and compute trade-offs in edge computing system
 s\, as well as aspects of cross-layer optimization for automation and cogn
 itive assistance applications. The major take-away of this talk is that st
 ate-of-the-art cannot nearly provide a systematic understanding of such ap
 plications\, which is a major roadblock to  devising efficient network des
 igns allowing their scalable deployment. \n\nBio:\nJames Gross is a profes
 sor with the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science School of KTH Roy
 al Institute of Technology\, Stockholm since November 2012. He is associat
 e director of KTH Digital Futures and a co-director of KTH’s comptence c
 enter on edge computing TECoSA. From 2014 – 2020 he was a member of the 
 board of KTH’s Innovative Centre for Embedded Systems\, while he served 
 from 2016 – 2019 as director for KTH’s ACCESS Linnaeus Centre. \nHis r
 esearch interests are broadly in the area of mobile systems & \nnetworks\,
  with a focus on critical machine-to-machine communications\, edge computi
 ng\, resource allocation as well as performance evaluation methods (in par
 ticular stochastic network calculus as well as age of information). Prior 
 to joining KTH\, he was assistant professor and head of the Mobile Network
  Performance Group at RWTH Aachen University from 2008 – 2012 as well as
  a member of the DFG-funded UMIC research centre of RWTH. James studied at
  TU Berlin and UC San Diego\, and received his PhD from TU Berlin in 2006.
 James has published about 150 (peer-reviewed) papers in international jour
 nals and conferences. His work has been awarded multiple times\, among the
 m the best paper awards at ACM MSWiM \n2015\, the best demo paper award at
  IEEE WoWMoM 2015\, the best paper award at IEEE WoWMoM 2009 and the best 
 paper award at European Wireless 2009. In 2007\, James was the recipient o
 f the ITG/KuVS dissertation award for his PhD thesis. James currently serv
 es as Editor for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications.
